Do you also wonder on a nightly basis if the sky will be blue the next morn?
I guess we can always go back to the Alec Burks full time pg experiment again

Or better yet continue to develop all 3 of Deuce McBride/Immanuel Quickley and the NBAs #1 draft and stash European PG Rokas.

Who needs Rubio when you've got veterans in Kemba and D-Rose?

Rose, Kemba, McBride, IQ, Rokus on the sideline. But yeah lets think about if Rubio post ACL would be a good add

He's turning 32 years old and coming off an ACL injury.

11 years and 0 ALL-STAR appearances.

What is your obsession with "Rubio".

great hair?

Can you imagine Jokic's magic passing hitting Obi on the run and surrounded by the energetic Grimes, 2uce, IQ?

Yeah. It would be a step up from him having to watch Austin Rivers routinely b ick his dimes.

MVP Jokić was drafted 41st overall (2nd round).

What a talent.

Robert Covington will be a free agent I keep an eye on at the MLE. He could help bring back the Knicks defensive identity.

He is 31.

If I'm Knicks I'd pass and think he is outside of the age window they are looking for.

I don't watch him play but his stats don't jump out.

At the same time, I also think SF is a position that the Knicks need to fill

Yep SF, PG, C.

The Knicks have a glut of undersized Combo Guards and average sized Shooting Guards. There isn't a SF or Combo Forward on the roster. Unless you want to count Knox, which I don't. I think Barrett needs to move back to SG. Get a glue guy small forward that can shoot and defend the best wing on the floor. Barrett can defend the best guard. Gives the Knicks better size and better defense all around.

Although Rubio may finally be shot with a torn ACL - he was previously a player that joined teams and helped show them how to play together. Like a less effective CP3. He helped Minny, Phx and now Cleveland. He would have helped ball movement, chemistry and got Randle to play faster. Sad but he may be done in that role now.
